 The manner in which we have exposed the animus displayed by the parties who engineered through the last Legislature the burdensome laws enacted against the live stock interests of the Territory, has been so galling to the guilty ones that they are seeking to avoid the just censure which they are receiving by calling in every quibble to show that they were not responsible for the laws in question. The exposure of the Herd Law" appearing in the Revised Statutes, it is claimed for example, was not enacted as there appears, but that simply Chapter 1 of the law in question passed the Legislature, while Chapter ?, which contains the obnoxious law, has been placed in the "Kode" as it the appears, by an error. Such sophistry may do for the present, and we have no objection to the congressional asp;rant who manu- factured the "Kode" using 1t in or der to let. themselves down easily, but at the next election the parties responsible for the law, may count on being called to explain why if the "Herd Law" is not law, and that the Fence Laws have been re- pealed, it should appear in the Re vised Statutes, while the last named laws find no place therein.-Hoof and Horn.
 The Albuquerque Citizen of the 5th inst, says: Last night, before 10 o'clock, two fine horses, the pro perty of Wallace Douglas. farmer living three miles below the city, | were stolen from his stable. One of these animals is fine, large bay | mare, for which MT. Douglas could have taken $200 any day the other is an iron-grey pony, a square, heavy-built animal. Both animals are vero fat, and, 1t is believed, can not travel far.
 Four more horses were taken from the pasture of Messrs. Metz gar & Kleinwort, five miles south of town. Of these, one was a sorrel, and three bays-all horses. One belonged to Metzgar & Kleinwort, one to their butcher and two to their herder. No clue was obtained to the thieves this morning, but they have undoubtedly been taken by the same gang.
 Tom Dye was in Hopes Corner saloon last night, and said, in the presence of a number of persons, who will testify to the fact: "Boys, you will see in the morning paper, all about the escape from the coun- tY jail of a prisoner some weeks ago, that nobody knows anything about. You will also hear," he con tinued, that two horses have been | stolen tonight" He further said, "Sheriff Perea does not arrest me, for I have the cinch on him." After some further talk he said, "Within five days I will be with Charley Ross"
 This conversation points clearly to the perpetrator of the last horse stealing. Trailers will be employed
